Over a year ago, a former NintendoEverything writer started a series of “Time Capsule” articles taking a look back at games we have fond memories of. While others might choose to take a look at something like Star Fox 64 or Super Metroid, we all have different ideas of what qualifies as a “classic” game. And that’s why I’ll be taking a look at game that no-one but me would ever call a “classic”: Sonic Pinball Party. Yep, It’s definitely an unconventional pick, since —let’s be honest— the title makes it sound like shovelware riding on the persistent popularity of Sega’s spiky mascot, but I swear it’s one of the best titles for the Game Boy Advance.
Is XSEED teasing localization of Nazo Waku Yakata? Or are they just having a bit of fun? Either way, they basically made a clear reference to the game on their Twitter account yesterday.
Here’s the tweet:
“Marketing vs. Localization Fight!(won’t say which belongs to which side)-Which sounds better:”3D Audio” or “Simulated Surround Sound”? Vote!”
This doesn’t confirm that XSEED will be bringing Nazo Waku Yakata to North America. 3D audio has been a big selling-point for the title, though, so you’d have to think that something is going on with the game…

n-Space has been developing Call of Duty games for Activision since 2007. The tradition, sadly, seems to be ending this year. Activision hasn’t provided an official statement yet, but it looks like there won’t be any Call of Duty title for the DS or 3DS in 2011. I’m personally quite disappointed by this, since I would have liked to see what sort of Call of Duty project n-Space could accomplish on the 3DS.
Like Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions only offers one save file. The game also suffers from another issue. Unfortunately, it only records a high score… which you can’t reset. There’s no scoring table of any kind, and you won’t be able to reset any data.
